Precious Artifacts Arrives!

In addition to finishing out a grueling five-week intensive summer class, I have extra reason to smile. I came home last week to find, waiting for me in my mailbox, Henri Wintz and David Hyde's new PKD Bibliography, Precious Artifacts!

What is it is is an alphabetized list of Dick's published works. There's a picture of every cover ever in here, with detailed info. Check out this info graphic I stole from the dickien.fr site..

Say you wanted to compare multiple covers from Clans of the Alphane Moon just to see if any of the pictures of Phil weren't taken from the Blade Runner photoshoot with Ridley Scott, Precious Artifacts has got you covered.

David Hyde, Lord RC, already produced the essential Pink Beam PKD Companion, and while this volume does not include extensive plot information, there's plenty of eye candy and interesting stuff to be learned on every page. Henri Wintz has long run the Philip K Dick Bookshelf website which housed the largest collection of cover imagery anywhere on the web. So this was a match made in the Palm Tree Garden.

These guys self-published this bibliography which is especially admirable and Dickian in the small-business is good business ethos, which is truer now than ever. Precious Artifacts is available at amazon and createspace (where I got my copy - not so happy with Amazon these days). If you're a completist, this has better be on your shelf..

RFA To Premiere in London and Links!

Radio Free Albemuth is set to premiere in London this week at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival. London is, like, a big city. Perhaps your town is next... The Festival's website is here.

Also, there's a fantastic new issue of PKD Otaku out now with tons of great content. Download the huge .pdf here.

Longtime Dick-heads Lord RC and Henri Winz are collaborating on a new PKD bibliography titled "Precious Artifacts." Lord RC's Pink Beam is already an indispensable resource, and Henri, who has run the PKD Bookshelf for years has an amazing collection of PKD stuff. Learn more about the project and contribute to a Kickstarter for the book project here.

The legal eagles among you already know the court room drama regarding the adaptation of Adjustment Team is once again heating up. The plaintiff's complaint makes for some very Dickian reading. Check it out here.
